Well you haven't exactly given a lot of information to go on. For example, before you hijacked your own thread (OT: Is there any size limit for ISO's?), you said that you only got the prompts when the stick booted in the "home" PC, not "foreign" ones. That didn't make it into this thread, but one about ISOs, which I had already deleted days earlier but happened to have skimmed. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/01/msg01218.html Not a lot here about which filesystems are encrypted, what's in crypttab, fstab, the initrd, etc. and so on, but just some narrative. > If no one else has any ideas in the future, I think, we should declare this > issue as closed. > > I got a workaround, this is well enough for me. > > Thank you and all others for your help!
